Strengths

- “Pupils say they feel happy and safe here.”

To improve
- “However, in phonics lessons and the catch-up sessions to support pupils who find learning to read tricky, there are inconsistencies in the way that teachers teach pupils to read.”
- “Some pupils fall behind, requiring additional sessions to catch up.”
- “A significant number of these pupils do not achieve the expected standard in the Year 1 phonics screening check.”
